Idk Flashcards
What is a vaults?
A long plate boundary
Which plate boundary’s have shallow earthquakes?
divergent and transform
What types are applied to rocks that cause earthquakes?
compression
tension
shear
torsion
what are the two types of deformation?
Elastic deformation
Plastic deformation
what happens during elastic and plastic deformation occurs
it stretches then when stress is removed it goes back to original shape. When stress is released it stays in the new shape.
how many seismic waves are there?
there’s 3 types
primary
secondary
surface
What are the two types of body waves
p-waves and s-waves
what type of wave is a primary wave?
compression wave
which body wave moves the fastest?
primary waves
what type of materials do p-waves travel to?
liquids and solids
what type of wave is a secondary wave?
transverse wave
What type of materials do s-waves travel through?
only travel through solids
surface waves are on earths surface
What types of waves do the most damages?
surface waves
what are the two scales that make up earthquakes?
Richter scale
Meracali scale
